    ok so I've had my z for almost a year. When I bought it. It had an obnoxious squeal due to the alternator being bad. So I recently replaced it. Fixed the problem finally had good voltage. Now since I've owned the car it has not had a tie down on the battery. Well after driving for almost a week and half with no problems. My dash lights up with the battery light, seatbelts,brake, abs. I pull over wiggle the terminal it goes away. Later it does it again. So I buy a tie down kit and new terminals put it in. Well still not charging. Tested my battery at work it's good checked my fuese by the battery all good. Am I right to assume my car hates me and I have to put another alternator in!? HELP ME LOLOL

    you battery terminal should be on so tight that you cant actually wiggle the terminal.

    Have you tried cleaning the terminals and the connectors? might be a little corrosion underneath interfering with the contact.

    And add on terminals suck, you're better off buying new OE cables, at last check they were still available.
